Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking live action G.I. Joe films. Specifically the characters and their uniforms. I really wanted to see a live action movie where the characters such as Shipwreck, Scarlett, and Doc look and act like the original ARAH cartoon series characters. I would also love to see live action Crimson Guards, Alley Vipers, and Iron Grenadiers, etc, etc! The Marvel movies have been a staple in cinema and television the past 20 + years because they took what people loved about…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at G.I. Joe in 2013 as a whole. I thought this was a nice bounce back on the figure end and although the vehicles were almost non existent we were still getting the run off from the past couple years from stores like Marshall’s, Ross, and Ollie’s. There was also that kinda cool Eaglehawk that was straight up re-birthed and renamed Tomahawk. I had the Tomahawk when I was a kid so I did not hesitate…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at one of my favorite G.I. Joe characters in the Joe universe Shipwreck. Shipwreck who is voiced by Neil Ross was an instant hit for me and millions around the world. I remember my 10th birthday going to Ames department store in Saranac Lake to use $10 that I got for my birthday from my grandparents. I vaguely remember a Flint, Airtight and Dusty that I passed on to get Footloose and Shipwreck. I think the biggest…

MY FAVORITE G.I.JOE FROM 1985 – STORY BY MITCHELL SMITH!

November 30, 2022June 7, 2025 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, G.I.Joe, Hasbro, Shipwreck0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. 1985 was one of the best years for G.I. Joe. Some of the all time greats came out for vehicles including the holy grail U.S.S. Flagg. My brother got a Snow Cat and the Crimson Twins this year. These are still some of my all time favorites. I also was able to get my hands on some birthday cash and buy Footloose and Shipwreck. I also got a Crankcase that year but I think that was my younger brother’s. Any hoot Shipwreck was one of my…

Hello everyone! Today I’m checking out one of the great voice actors of our time Neil Ross. Ross started out in radio and once left his gig in Idaho and took a radio job in Hawaii for $400 per month. Ross was also the announcer for the popular game show Press Your Luck where he also did the sound for the little Whammy guy cartoon who would dance across the tv screen and take all your money. If you have never watched this show find a clip of it. Ross…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at one of the best G.I.Joe characters ever created, and one of the very first I bought with my own money, ‘Shipwreck‘. Shipwreck was introduced in 1985 and was an instant hit. I remember standing in Ames with my older brother and I liked the sailor suit, the name, his cool weapons, and Polly. I remember storing his pistol and anchor in a small match box. I still have the Polly minus his feet and Shipwrecks head. My brothers were rough on my…

Welcome to the Outpost. I hope everyone is getting through this crazy time. Today I’m checking out one of my favorite G.I.Joe characters from 1985. I can remember it like it was yesterday. I had just turned 10 and I got 5 bucks so I picked out 2 Joes. Footloose and one of my all time favorites Shipwreck. I was so excited to see some awesome Joes. I had the 12 inch Joes and a few of the 3-3/4 inch but the 85 Joes were all pretty cool. I don’t believe Shipwreck had…
